SOLSTEO the leading European manufacturer of first-class industrial EO sterilisers will be attending at Arab Health 2017 from January 30th To February 2nd

United Arab Emirates  - January 18th 2017:  The knowledge of EO sterilisation process and the focus of SOLSTEO team on innovation make the company a recognised global expert in this field of expertise: SOLSTEO is a member of the ISO/TC 198/WG 1, representing the French mirror committee.

“Using innovation to keep one step ahead of the competition” could be SOLSTEO’s motto. This culture of innovation is rooted in the passion for automation shared by all SOLSTEO team members. This year in Arab Health, SOLSTEO will present 2 technological breakthroughs, bringing innovation in the automation of EO sterilisers to guarantee 100% data recording and reporting:

1. EQ-Sim: software programs tested and validated 95% by virtual machines!

The commissioning a new production equipment is always a challenge. Programs of automated machines, sometimes quite complex, must be tested extensively to avoid delays during validation phase on-site. It is not unusual to detect bugs when the software is installed in the machine. From then onwards, correcting bugs can take for ever… and turn into real nightmare!

EQ-Sim is an innovative simulation tool that makes it possible to test and validate programs before the actual software is injected in the PLC of a machine. Like a flight simulator, EQ-Sim reproduces the exact same physical parameters of the EO sterilizer when it is in real operation. Consequently, programs are tested and validated at 95% “off-site” in SOLSTEO offices Paris, FR. Software validation on the real machine takes only a couple of days at Customers’ factory. This is a huge advantage when it comes to commissioning a new EO steriliser, or when making a software upgrade on an existing machine.

1. PLC-embedded memory 

Data integrity and traceability are essential aspects when product release is based on cycle report. Data losses on final report are not unusual, and incomplete reports always have a cost: from product re-sterilisation in the best case, to batch destruction in the worst case. 

The innovation with the PLC-embedded memory is that data recording doesn’t take place in the HMI (Human Machine Interface) anymore, but date are recorded directly in the in PLC of the machine. This guarantee 100% recording of ALL cycle data at ALL time. This software solution is compliant with the FDA 21 CFR Part 11.

From January 30 to February 2, 2017, SOLSTEO will be exhibiting in the France Pavilion at Arab Health, Dubai Zabeel2, Stand G70
